THE DOMINION.
A Canadian Pacific Official on the
Red River Valley Trouble.

MONTREAL, Aug. 3o.-Sir George Stephen,
Sir Donald Smith and w. G. Van Horne, ar
rived from the Pacific coast this afternoon.
Mr.. Van Horne, when askedl what course
the Canadian Pacific Railway intended to
pursue in reference to the Red River Valley
Railway scheme, replied: "We are not sup
posed to pursue any policy at all. That is a
question between the Dominion and the
Manitoba government. OF course we do not
look upon the scheme with favor We regard
1t as an unwarranted attack upon the Cana
dian Pacific Railway and as dangerous to the
interests of thesswhole country. The real
promoters of that line are annexatiOnists
ed by a demand for the removal Of the
Custom Houses. The Red River Valley
Railway can only hurt Manitoba, which will
have to support it, but the political con-
sequences of its construction, believe, will
be most serious. The annexation move
ment will, Of course. first take the form Of a
movement for commercial union"

wood, who has just returned from Labrador
publishes letter in to-day's Colonist, dis
putting the claim Of the Hudson's Bay Com
pany to the salmon fisheries in Sandwich
Bay and other parts of Labrador. He says
the company exacts 10 per cent. toll on sal
mon caught at their posts. Their claim is
invalid, inasmuch as they hold charter
only from the time Of Charles III, whereas
Magma Charta nullifes all such claims. He
calls upon the Newfoundland government to
defend the fishermen against the exactions
of Sampson, Daw and other agents of the
company This they will do.
The Fisheries.
OTTAWA, Aug. 3O.-The government Of
British Columbia has forwarded to the Do
minion government a memorandum calling
attention to the Importance of the seal
fishery industry of British Columbia, which
is in danger of being wiped out, owing to
the action of American cruisers in Behring
Sea, and urging that a settlement of the
whole fisheries dispute between Canada and
the United States should be effected at once.

Games today-Portlands at Lynn, Low
ellis at Manchester, Salems at Haverhill
Special meeting Of the New England
League at Lynn tonight The protests made
by Lynn regarding thetwo Portland games
In that city will probably be talked over and
settled ss sna AZ one or two other matters Of in
terest to the Portland club. 1t Is rumored
that strange things may happen and that
something may drop. Will it be HaverhiH
or Lynn, or both?
The Biddefords are to play a third and de-
elsive game with the Portland Stars on the
afternoon at 2 O'Clock.
If the games cannot be played to finish but
have to be called so early as they have been
the last two days, it would be good idea to
begin them a little earlier, say 2.3o instead Of
We don'tquestion Mr.. Lynch's ability to
umpire nor dove wish to accuse him Of at
tempting to keep the Portlands from win
ming yesterday from any mercenary motives.
But 1t Is putting it mildly to say that his con-
duet during the game was, outrageous. He
was hit by hot ball In the first part Of the
game and it evidently put his temper out Of
Joint. Once when Dlekers0n came to the
bat In his regular turn he was ordered back
to his seat, and his decision in calling Thayer
out was one he would never have made had
that Thayer did not balk him, but Lynch
came down on the latter as IL he had com
mitted crime. But all this bad work
would have been overcome If he had only
let the Portlands finish the game, or the in
ming even. Schoeneck was on second with
only one out and Lufbery had two balls
called when Lynch asked the Salem catcher
II he could see the ball. He honestly replied
that he could but Campana gave him a tip
cludeu IL was 100 dark. 90 Byucn cdfco Guc
game and ran for his herdic. The POrtlands
were lining them out in all directions and
Lufbery is the best hitter In the League In
such an emergency. Short of a miracle
could have saved the game for Salem II 1t
had been continued few innings longer
Could anything have been more exasper-
ating to an audience and to the friends of
the team that was making such brace to
win and such an uphill struggle? Mr..
Lynch has usually been very square and has
given first class satisfaction here and his ac-
tion yesterday was surprise.
The New York Sun says that great dissat-
isfactiOn exists among the players In the
Chicago Base Ball Club on account Of Cap
tain Anson's treatment of his men. Pfeifer,
In particular, Is very indignant. and threat
ened to leave the club unless certain fines
imposed upon him by Anson were remitted
The players say that the defeats suffered by
Chicago In the pending Eastern trip so
worked upon Anson that in Saturdays
game he ragged like wild bull, fand Pfeffer
happened to be the one gored. The team, it
is said, started out to do the town" Sunday,
and that Anson fined them right and left,
Pfetfer getting the heaviest. Anson, who Is
In Washington, admits having disciplined
Pfeffer, but denies that there is any trouble
in the nine.
